Golmas Gilded Rose at Rosegrove (13/04/98 - 08/08/11)
Monday 8th August 2011 was a sad day for us at Rosegrove. We had to say goodbye to our foundation bitch Rosie. Rosie enjoyed a very active life up until two weeks before she died. She was put to sleep to prevent further suffering. Rosie joined us from the Golmas kennel on 21st June 1998. Where do the years go. In this photo she is 12 years old.
Rosie was never a show dog. She just wanted to play. Even up until the end she was full of mischief. She hadnt a bad bone in her body. She was scared of nothing and her temperament was brilliant. I couldnt have had a foundation bitch with better temperament. She loved everyone and every animal. To know her was to love her. She even enjoyed her visits to the vet. When she went into the surgery she always put her big paws up on the receptionists desk and looked around her as if to say "Rosie's here". A dog with a big personality and full of fun.
She could take the padlocks of the gates with her nose in no time at all if the padlock wasnt locked and she would open the gates. When she was getting her coat brushed she liked to sit her bum down on my knee. She would lift and carry anything including the ornaments. She liked to put her nose into a pocket always looking for a treat.
In her lifetime she had 3 litters. She was a fantastic mother. She lives on in her children and grandchildren. She is very much missed.

We are a small kennel of 6 Golden Retrievers situated in Coleraine in Northern Ireland.
Our dogs are firstly very much loved pets and are spoiled to bits, and then secondly show dogs.
We enjoy going to some shows throughout the year and if we receive a prize then this is a bonus.
We normally breed one litter a year, and very occasionally two litters. All our dogs are BVA hip scored and BVA eye tested.
We hope you enjoy your visit to our website. Please feel free to sign our guestbook.
